This is FSM material CR.... But like Steve says, you need to understand it, and you need the tools to test it.

what should i do if my obd1 scanner doesnt connect/read my ecu?

[OutToWinPAHC]

Check the ignition power, battery power and ground to the ECU

Well now you are onto something.

That might explain why you have no spark...if your computer has no power.

You should be able to use a test light for this test.




Check the small red arrows first.

[SteveTheTech]

one should have power all the time and one should come on with the key
